This is effectively saying, "This article is correct but for the wrong reasons". People aren't angry about why hundreds of migrants dying isn't newsworthy. They're angry that it's not newsworthy.

I'm frankly surprised that not enough people find it disgusting that the EU passively killing hundreds of refugees is less interesting because the EU does so regularly.

I think I'm going to stick to Lemmy and use Reddit only to promote Lemmy. I've been created a few new communities here and will plug them to Reddit users.

Oh nice, I'll try this too!

Do you think Podman is ready to take over Docker? My understanding is that Podman is Docker without the root requirement.

My thoughts exactly! I plan to use Native Alpha mostly to give the devs ample time to improve Jerboa, and will eventually jump ship (I think)

Yep, the UI can be a bit tricky. If I swipe a few times it usually figures out that I'm trying to refresh, and does so.

Amazingggg, never thought of the YouTube use case, I'm gonna try it myself. I've been using NewPipe and Libretube, but they just don't cut it for me hahaha.

I'd say just go post in English there, if you're not supposed to, someone will probs drop you a ping.

I also sense that people here are keen on having multilingual communities, so English posts may even be welcome. Either way, it's the wild west here, so just go for it.

I think you're right in that the structure is confusing. Personally, I think it's less confusing than it is "novel". Like in a world where the fediverse was the norm, centralised apps would've been confusing.

Either which way, I think you're correct -- part of it is because we don't really have a good analogy for how this whole thing works.

This is how I see it: Lemmy is like a house party hosted in a huge venue that has hundreds of doors (i.e. instances). The doors have some slight differences (maybe some are huge, some are tiny, some have bouncers, some let you bring your own costumes etc). But for the most part, it doesn't really matter what door you enter the party through, as all doors open into the same common space.

However, the door you choose does make you physically closer to one cluster of people than the rest of the party. That's how I see the "local" filter. But if you're just interested in getting into the party asap, just pick any instance and join.

This still isn't a perfect analogy though -- if a door shuts down, you don't magically disappear from the party. But if an instance goes down, you do. Still, for the uninitiated, I feel like this is a sensible enough analogy.

On mobile website, just click the hamburger menu from the top right and click "Create Community"!

Great. I don't know enough to use either but I think I'm going to try lean on podman from the get go. In any case, I know that all podman commands are exactly identical to Docker, such that you can replace, say, docker compose with podman compose and move on with ease.

Hey! You should totally create those communities by yourself, takes less than 5 seconds!! (Via the website though -- sadly the apps don't yet have that functionality...but will soon)

For example, I created beatles@sopuli.xyz, since there's no Beatles community here. Never modded any subreddit in my life, so it's a first for me.

I'm soon gonna make a list of maybe 8-10 communities I like and create them over here. Then I'll post links to them on the corresponding subreddits.

I don't plan to actually mod them actively, so I'll pass the modding powers to others if/when the communities get a good number of followers.

You could do the same, it's like being Johnny Appleseed!
